If that's the vehicle I think it is, it might be plausible that it arrived on site under it's own power.

I can’t imagine being THAT close to (what appears to be) a high speed mainline train. The whole house must shake when one passes!

We had friends that had a house in a similar location. The whole house did rumble, but curiously it was rather soothing and atmospheric, and really caused no issues. House was still standing at least 100 years after the railway appeared.

I'm more concerned about what's going on in pic 7. Are they Chucky-style dolls or actual children?

If that is anything like as noisy as under the Kessock bridge, then it will be damned noisy down there in the middle of nowhere,
